Question

Hello I have this code where i create an xlsx file and i need to pre set the width of the xlsx sheet cells. The actual problem is that when i open the excell i need to double c

Answer 1

Actual Answer is already marked thats the right way of setting column width but there is one issue that is when document is opened first time in excel, it recalculates columns' width (dont know why) so as i mentioned in comment below the marked answer when i set column width to 7.86 its resets it to 7.14 and 10.43 to 9.7x.

i found following code from this epp reported issue to get the closet possible column width as desired.

//get 7.14 in excel
ws.Column(1).Width = 7.86;

//get 7.86 in excel
ws.Column(1).Width = GetTrueColumnWidth(7.86);

public static double GetTrueColumnWidth(double width)
        {
            //DEDUCE WHAT THE COLUMN WIDTH WOULD REALLY GET SET TO
            double z = 1d;
            if (width >= (1 + 2 / 3))
            {
                z = Math.Round((Math.Round(7 * (width - 1 / 256), 0) - 5) / 7, 2);
            }
            else
            {
                z = Math.Round((Math.Round(12 * (width - 1 / 256), 0) - Math.Round(5 * width, 0)) / 12, 2);
            }

            //HOW FAR OFF? (WILL BE LESS THAN 1)
            double errorAmt = width - z;

            //CALCULATE WHAT AMOUNT TO TACK ONTO THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT TO RESULT IN THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE SETTING 
            double adj = 0d;
            if (width >= (1 + 2 / 3))
            {
                adj = (Math.Round(7 * errorAmt - 7 / 256, 0)) / 7;
            }
            else
            {
                adj = ((Math.Round(12 * errorAmt - 12 / 256, 0)) / 12) + (2 / 12);
            }

            //RETURN A SCALED-VALUE THAT SHOULD RESULT IN THE NEAREST POSSIBLE VALUE TO THE TRUE DESIRED SETTING
            if (z > 0)
            {
                return width + adj;
            }

            return 0d;
        }
